A verifiable USGA Handicap Index (GHIN Number) will be required for ALL golfers who wish to try out for the golf team. Students without an official USGA Index/Handicap or who do not meet the minimum requirements, will not be permitted to tryout for the Golf Team.

All students who wish to tryout for the Golf Team must register using this form in advance of tryouts and provide the necessary index/handicap information. Please do not arrive for tryouts without notifying the coaching staff AND providing a verifiable index/handicap.  The first round of cuts will be made after the first day of tryouts per these guidelines - Freshmen must shoot 100 or better, Sophomores must shoot 95 or better, Juniors 92 or better, and Seniors 88 or better. A second round of cuts will be made following day two. Final cuts and team placements will be communicated following Wednesday morning.

Handicap Index Requirements for Tryouts:

• Sophomores (2029) – 13.0
• Juniors (2028) – 10.0
• Seniors (2027) – 6.0

Our golf team enforces strict handicap requirements per class to ensure that players have the necessary skill level and experience to compete effectively in high school competitions. This helps maintain a high standard within the team, while also helping cultivate young talent by encouraging players to consistently improve their skills year over year. Meeting the handicap requirements does not guarantee making the team.

All golfers must wear a collared shirt and golf shorts/pants. Cargo shorts are not considered proper attire. Golfers not dressed appropriately will not be permitted on the course.  Please plan to arrive at the golf course no more than fifteen minutes prior to the start time. The driving range will not be available and the Pro Shop and Clubhouse are not open to non-members at Blue Bell Country Club. Please report directly to the first tee and/or the putting green. Those individuals requiring warm-up or practice prior to tryouts must do so prior to arriving at the designated golf course.
